South Berwick High School - Pioneer Yearbook (South Berwick, ME)

The coming of winter in the year of 1959 found a large section of the building, the multi-purpose room, nearly finished. - — and at the same time, the Industrial Arts Build- ing was nearing completion. In the spring of 1960, the South Berwick High School was in the last stages of its development. All through the summer, the final touches on both the inside and the outside of the school were added. The beginning of the school year marked the end of the major part of the work of the Build- ing Committee whose members were Mrs. Aimee Schramm, chairman; Richard A. Lilly, vice- chairman; Superintendent Hubert E. Redding, secretary; Town Manager Edward W. Hagar, treas- urer; Mrs. Mildred M. Flynn, F. Verrill Perkins, Cecil R. Horr, Walter E. Webster, Jr., Joseph J. Blackmore, Kenneth R. Stowe, F. Roger Miller, Harland, C. Goodwin, Miss Marie A. Dona- hue, Ralph W. Butler, Raymond A. Tondreault, and Robert I. Mclntire. Two of our former town managers, James H. Thompson and Jay Gregg, also served on this committee. The Build- ing Committee's pioneering venture had been successful. They are the unsung heros of our school and even though they will receive no awards or medals for all their toils and troubles, we, the students of South Berwick High School, are truly grateful. 3 Pictures by Oscar Michaud

COOPER - is principal of South Berwick High School - attended Farmington State Teachers College, University of Maine, and Syracuse University. - received B.S. from University of Maine - formerly taught at Bangor, Brooks, and Bristol. TO THE STUDENTS OF SOUTH BERWICK HIGH SCHOOL - The year 1961 brings home again the truth that must be realized by students and teachers alike - that there is nothing magic about high school. There are no particular subjects in which a student can enroll which will automatically assure him an education. Education is self-development and must be achieved, not given. The school and the faculty can only try to help those who wish to gain an education, for there is only one road to learning - a long and arduous road where each person must make his own way. Good luck to you in your journey and may you all reach your goals. 5
